Thank you Bret for even noticing where I was qualified. I ended up as the #3 qualifier, but it was fun to be the number one qualifier for a day. I passed on running in the final qualifying session. I was worried the 12 MPH tailwind might push that box of a race car I drive one second under the index.

Hey Jim! I am surprised that anyone even noticed that I was at the top of the stock qualifying list for one day, although I was eventually bumped down to number 3. Thanks for the kind words. Bill

Thank you Dennis, I really appreciate that, although I was eventually bumped down to the #3 qualifying position. It was fun to be on the top of the qualifying list for one day. There are not too many of us left, that are still racing the FWD cars anymore, especially after the classes were consolidated and alot of the cars could no longer make the weight break. It is good to know there are still a few of us left.

Great job, Bill. Never met, but I've watched your results for many, many years! Thanks for adding another voice bringing attention to the problem of FWD class breaks. As I posted in another thread, since they have the "class singles combo" now, there shouldn't be any concern about having everybody collecting Wallys on a single, so can we get the old FWD class structure back???

Congrats, Bill.
Your car sounds great; like the converter is really working well. What kind is it?
PM me if you'd like.

I was sure hoping that Bill Oconnor would run that AA/SA for class. I would have paid to see that!
